Teen Connection Series: “Athletic Scholarships”, Thursday, November 14

The City of Lake Charles is hosting their latest Teen Connection session for local teenagers, ages 13 to 18, on Thursday, Nov. 14, from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm, at the Cpl Donald Ray Stevens Center, located at 1619 Cessford St. This weeks session is focused on The Elite Athlete’s Secret to Achievement, Performance and Recruitment.

According to a media release, "each year thousands of high school students compete for collegiate athletic scholarships across the country. Competition is fierce as there are many talented, dedicated athletes hoping to secure a relatively small number of scholarships". Additionally, "how do grades, social media presence and other elements factor into the recruiting process? What can you do to improve your odds? This ever popular session returns with valuable information for athletes hoping to play at the next level".

"Teen Connection” is designed to help teenagers learn job skills, college prep, social media, interview skills, and ACT prep among others. The classes are instructed by educators, government officials, and business leaders in the community.

Additional topics scheduled for the fall semester include Simple Strategies to Improve your Writing Skills and How to Choose a College Major.

Teen Connection is designed to help teenagers learn job skills, college prep, social media, interview skills, and ACT prep among others. The classes are instructed by educators, government officials, and business leaders in the community. - City of Lake Charles
